Admin Thread for WWXLV: The Fellowship of Saruman

[Nerwen]

Yes, I'll add my brother and I to the list... mind you, we might be distracted by trying to lynch Mene– er, I mean Uglúk.

The new, improved list:

Definitely out:

Tom Bombadil –short attention span.
Elladan & Elrohir –emotional baggage.
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins –kleptomania.
Gandalf –too powerful.
Galadriel –too powerful
Radagast –too powerful.
Uglúk –tragic victim of racial stereotyping.

Question marks:

Gildor Inglorion –but can we really trust any Elf Lord?
Théodred –Probably okay, but might "do a Boromir"? Rohan's not that far from Mordor– they're still under threat.
Éomer –ditto.
Halbarad –Can't think of anything.
Dáin II. Ironfoot –Hard to say. The Seven Rings could turn dwarves evil, "filled with wrath and desire for vengeance on all who deprived them," but on the other hand "they were made from the beginning of a kind to resist most steadfastly any domination (...) they could not be reduced to shadows enslaved to another's will."

Btw Groin? I was thinking Dáin didn't get any lines in the main text, but I was wrong. Here he is talking to the Black Rider:

At that his breath came like the hiss of snakes, and all who stood by shuddered, but Dáin said: "I say neither yea nor nay. I must consider this message and what it means under its fair cloak."
"Consider well, but not too long."
"The time of my thought is my own to spend," answered Dáin.
